If a person is your enemy...if they actively harm you and make your life more difficult...you should kill them. That is kinda the essence of politics itself. Politics happens because war is possible.Vegas » 08 Dec 2024, 12:06 pm » wrote: ↑ I guess the guy was also involved in insider trading. That is speculation, but it seems new info is coming to light about that. Either way, at what point, if there is one at all, is it ok to celebrate the murder of a person based on their deeds? We may justify it by saying that things will now change for the better. However, it's highly unlikely anything will change. There will be no policy changes and private insurances will still deny claims that should be accepted. They will replace the CEO ASAP and things will go back to how they always were.
My take on this is that I am unsure. I never encourage death upon someone else. However, I am not going to weep either. Therefore, I don't support the act, but I don't exactly feel bad about it either.
Did this guy harm me? Absolutely. Him and people like him are the reason health care is so difficult to afford.
the only reason I didn't kill him or people like him is because I would rather not be charged with murder and live in prison. There is no ethical obstacle whatsoever
and as far as the framing of the poll went...two wrongs making a right? That misses the point. I would say instead that if you kill all your enemies then you won't have enemies. And it is besides the point whether that is right or wrong. That is just what a successful life form does. It is no different from my immune system killing germs.
